Verdict
Rubensian landed a double over today’s trip on the all-weather in the autumn of last year but is 4lb higher on his return while Sean O'Casey steps up in trip on his handicap debut and first start for Mick Appleby having failed to win in Ireland last year. Stoney Broke made a winning start in 2015 but was last of six on her only start last season and preference is for LONGSIDE, a runner-up when favourite over 1m2f here last time having won a maiden race over course and distance last year.
